I was a bratty little sister. I was the youngest of three, and I often felt as though I didn't fit in.
The hardest times for me were not when people challenged what I said, but when I felt my voice was not heard.
And then, when I thought about joining the Air Force, flying seemed like a natural extension of the motorcycling experience. You're going faster, higher. You're operating a machine that's a lot more powerful than you are.
